What this means for owners

Merced’s office market stayed under pressure this quarter. Ten tracked trades cleared at a median $154 per square foot — down 2.8% over the year — as cap rates widened to 7.85% and vacancy edged up to 9.2%.

The split is clear: medical and well-leased professional buildings still trade tightly, while commodity and older office lags. For owners weighing a transition — for tax, estate, or generational reasons — moving early, with a clear-eyed plan, matters more in this asset class than any other.

The numbers reward owners who plan ahead rather than wait for the market to turn. We are at your service.
